A great adaptation of this jazz standard. Solo space if the jazzer wants it, or Armstrong's solo, written out, can be played. Fun to play, excellent for learning style and great for the audience. The recording is by Jan Glaesel and is gorgeously interpreted.
ITG Journal, October 2022, page 115:
Struttin' with Some Barbeque is an excellent mid-level arrangement (rated 6 out of 9 in difficulty by Triplo Press) that would be most suitable for an advanced undergraduate university ensemble seeking to learn how to play an early jazz classic orI a professional ensemble trying to showcase the music of Louis Armstrong....With its detailed notations and style markings in the accompanying score and clearly marked individual parts, this
3'33" arrangement would make an excellent feature to open a special event or be played at any recital or a concert.
